Mongomery Wards lawn tractor with a B & S 16hp twin seems to have an intermittent spark problem. I took it apart down to taking the flywheel off and when I put it back together it started. The reason I took it apart was it wasn't starting. I disconnected the ground wire and checked for spark. Was visible but seemed weak. Reconnected the ground wire still had spark and still seemed weak. Put it all together and she started up. Used it for 2 hours Saturday, shut it off, went out a couple hours later and it won't start again. Checked for spark with and without the ground wire and I can't see any. Could I have an intermittent coil problem?
